Description Another character portrait from the novel(s) I'm working on in my spare time. (In truth, I'm sort of taking a break while I get settled in with my partner. It's good to finally have the time to do some art).

Gendo Kotoko, Ruling Lord of the Tigrin Clan and father of Kataya Kotoko ([link] ) is a fierce warrior with a steady, earthen soul. He lost his eye long ago, not that it ever slowed him up, but the loss of his mate by the hands of an unusual foe was more than enough to make this once proud leader stumble. Only time will tell if he can regain his lost honor.

I haven't had a chance to scan this one yet, so you can expect an edit in probably a week when I can get back to my scanner (it hasn't made the move yet). The image is much more crisp than this crummy photo shows, but I'm sure you get the idea.

Watercolor paints and colored pencils on 9x12 smooth bristol.

Gendo Kotoko (c) me. Please do not use him without permission.

Aw, I love him! You've captured the fierce and passionate personality of the tiger perfectly here.

You don't post very often, but when you do, your newest piece is always noticeably more awesome than the last!

Looks like a strong guy. I don't want to mess with him.
Nice job on catching the face wrinkles

Yeah, he isn't someone you'd want to turn your back on. And thank you, I was trying to get the wrinkles and shading right.

You're welcome The best part is the spot on his right side - the viewers' left side - next to the muzzle. The shading turned out great here, it looks really plastic
